Use this page to describe an azalea in enough detail to allow it to be identified:

• The complete description includes this page, and another page for primary data, which can be used in either order.
• Use the primary data entry page, or the much simpler minimum data entry page, to enter the basic data needed to help someone choose plants for their landscape.
• Use this secondary data entry page to add the more detailed data needed to identify an azalea.
• Use any of the data entry pages to enter the minimum plant description, which is the plant name and your name.
• If you are not sure about a characteristic, leave it empty.
• To change a description, first retrieve it with the search page, and click the change button on its azalea display page to show the description here.

primary data entry

This page is not connected to a database yet, so it will not store any information. When you click the Enter Secondary button, it will instead send your data as an email to the website committee, to let them know you tested it.

The page is here for your review. Try using it to describe some real azaleas. You can also see how the information might be displayed (mockup, not the data you entered) at the azalea display page. And you can see how growers and sellers might tell us which plants they sell at the azalea sellers page.

After you look these pages over, please share your experiences and thoughts on them in an email to the website committee.
